Reflecting on Summer Growth

Ladies, can we just take a collective deep breath and acknowledge something incredible? As I'm sitting here reviewing our Q3 numbers and reflecting on this summer's journey, I'm honestly blown away by the growth I'm witnessing - not just in our Project Rich Bitch community, but in each and every one of you who's been showing up consistently and in myself. Yes, I am on this journey with you too!

This summer was about something much deeper - it was about planting seeds of intention with deliberate care, watering them with consistent action even when motivation waned, and now? Now we get to harvest the beautiful, abundant results.

I've been in business long enough to know that growth isn't always linear, and success doesn't always look Instagram-perfect with its neat little squares and polished captions. Real growth is messy sometimes. It's showing up on the days when you don't feel like it. It's making the hard decisions. It's investing in yourself when others question your choices. It's saying no to good opportunities so you can say yes to great ones. For me, it is also standing strong in my FAITH!

But what I've learned - and what I see reflected in our community every single day - is that the women who consistently show up for themselves, even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's challenging, even when the results aren't immediately visible, are the ones who create the most beautiful, lasting transformations.

So before we dive headfirst into planning Q4 strategies and setting new goals, let's pause right here and celebrate. Your wins matter, no matter how small they might seem to you. Your progress matters, even if it doesn't match someone else's timeline. Compete with yourself and get inspired by others. YOU matter, exactly as you are in this moment. 💜

Take a moment right now - seriously, pause your reading - and think about one growth moment from this summer that fills you with pride. Maybe it was finally having that difficult money conversation. Maybe it was investing in yourself despite the fear. Maybe it was setting a boundary that felt scary but necessary. Whatever it was, honor it. You did that. You chose growth over comfort, and that's everything.

Cheers, Bitches!!!!!

🌟 ABUNDANCE ACADEMY Gratitude Practices for Financial Wins

This Week's Power Practice: The Wealth Gratitude Ritual

Let’s talk real wealth for a minute. It’s not just about the money in your account; it’s about your relationship with it. The old way of thinking is all about striving and accumulation, which can lead to nothing but anxiety.

We're flipping the script. Gratitude is the foundation of true financial empowerment. By celebrating the wins—a steady income, making progress on debt, or a savings plan that's actually working—we're building the confidence and momentum you need for future growth. This mindset is your ultimate weapon against unconscious spending and that insidious "lifestyle creep" that can sabotage your progress.

Your 5-Minute Daily Wealth Gratitude Practice:

1. Win Recognition (2 minutes): Write down one financial win from the past week. And before you say "I don't have any wins," let me stop you right there. A win can be: paying a bill early, negotiating a better rate on anything, saving $20 on groceries, getting a compliment on your work that could lead to more opportunities, choosing not to make an impulse purchase, or even just checking your bank account without anxiety.

2. Gratitude Amplification (2 minutes): Feel genuine appreciation for this win. Don't just think about it - actually feel it in your body. Where did this win come from? What skills, knowledge, or growth did you use to create it? How does it connect to your larger financial journey?

3. Future Magnetism (1 minute): Visualize this win multiplying and expanding. What would 10x of this look like in your life? How would it feel? What would become possible? Let yourself dream big here.

Bonus Challenge - The Wins Jar: Create a physical "Wins Jar" using a beautiful container that makes you smile. Every time you have a financial victory - and I mean EVERY time, no matter how small - write it on a slip of paper and add it to the jar. Watch your abundance evidence grow throughout the month. At the end of September, pour yourself something celebratory and read through every single win. You'll be amazed at how much abundance you've actually created! 💰

Cooler temperatures are on the way so let’s take another look at that closet. Your wardrobe is not just a collection of clothes; it’s a portfolio of assets. A well-curated wardrobe is a powerful tool to combat imposter syndrome and give you the confidence to take up space and lead with conviction.

This is "investment dressing". It’s about building a wardrobe of "cost per wear powerhouses" and "financial investment pieces". Think of it this way: your staple pieces are like your low-risk index funds, and your luxury investment pieces are your high-yield alternative assets.

Speaking of powerful pieces, a wardrobe of high-quality items can be your secret weapon against self-doubt. It’s your armor that helps you feel "special" and "set apart".

Looking for the ultimate closet chameleon? An elegant, tailored blazer from Ivy Ekong is a powerful wardrobe staple that elevates any outfit, from casual to corporate. It's a key investment in your professional presence.

Or, if you’re ready to invest in a true timeless classic, a luxury accessory from San Rocco can be a smart financial asset as well as a status symbol.

And remember, feeling powerful starts from the inside out. The right undergarments can be a secret weapon that makes you feel confident and ready to take on the day, whether you're in the boardroom or on a date. Bedroom Kandi has pieces designed for the modern, empowered woman.
